Accomodation

Set among studios, small workshops and attic apartments, the Meisterzimmer is a room to let. Like the whole site, this room has a creatively incomplete charm. The former women’s’ washroom can be used as a kitchen, the factory trolleys are moveable beds, and a small workbench is on hand for fits of creativity. This spacious room (116 m²) provides enough space to sleep 6 in total, and the front area also provides space for sports activities like pull-ups or table tennis. The little hermitage at 2.50 m provides a place where one can spend the night on a small bed after leafing through a selection of catalogues of Leipzig artists’ work or reading philosophical works. The view alone is well worth the climb. This sunny room is a good starting place for a ramble through the Spinnerei, which is sure to provide some new discoveries.
